niECn fflfln h The fne9Q man Jlori|

It's niEGfl fnfin versus the powerful leaders and fighting forces of
nionsteropQlls - that strange multi -faceted land of robot-like Humanolds.

Brilliant scientist Dr. Light concelued the construction of fully-operational
human-like experimental robots to perform specific eueryday duties.
Dr. Light, and his assistant Dr. lUily, encouraged by their iiery first
near-human robot - DIEGH DlflD - proceeded to deoeiop sift additional
Humanolds, all programmed to perform prescribed rituals:

< Cviman - Designed to function as a lumberjack. Pouierful
saui-toothed scissors-like instrument protrudes from head,
capable of gnawing through giant forest lumber

< Oiit/mon - n bulldozing character capable
of lifting and transporting huge boulders.

< Iceman - Impervious to chilling sub-zero
temperatures, capable of human-like
performances under extreme
climatic conditions.

< iembmon - fl real "blaster" as a heauy-
duty laborer upho uses Intensely powerful
explosives to clear land for Dr. Light's
construction projects.

< riiemon - Dtelts and molds metals with flame-throwing
torch flaring from atop his head.

< Clecman - Dr. Light's electrifying creation, planned for conducting
electrical operations - even supervising nuclear power plants.

But, with the exception of IflEGH DIHD, all of Dr. Light's near-human
robot experimentation went awry. Dssistant Dr. lUily turned disloyal,
re-programming Dr. Light's Humanolds, now bent on destroying
opposition so Dr. Ulilg can control the world and its resources.

Resisting re-programming, HIEGH inHfl is chosen as the defender
of the uniuerse and its inhabitants. mEGFi IHHIl dares to single-handedly
penetrate seven separate empires of Hlonsteropolis, eliminating the leaders
and followers of these sovereignties.

In the year 200x, a super-robot named Dlega (Dan was created

by Dr. Light to stop the evil designs of Dr. liUily. However, after his defeat,

Dr. UlJly created eight of his own robots to counter IDega [Han....

Dr. lUlly is here now, too...yes...he's finally found his sanity. He knows
where the crystals are! They're In the mining worlds, but we can't get

Good evening. Dr. Light:
Allow me to introduce myself — / am
Dr. Coisack. You may not have heard of me,
but ioon the world wilt Jtnow my name.
Over the years, you have been hailed as the greatest robot
designer in the world, while my robotic creations have been totally
Ignored. I cannot allow this to continue. The world must be made
aware of my genius!

From my Siberian citadel, I've sent eight of my most powerful
robots to destroy the titanium troublemaker, Mega Man. Once they
have obliterated him, I will place his broken body on display
for the entire world to see. Only then will I be allowed to take
my place as the greatest robot designer of all time!

"Cossack to niega man! Cossack to niega man! Come in, IHega lllan!

"Protoman has gone wild! City Hall and the spaceport haue been totally
destroyed and the city's power grid Is in shambles, i'ue neuer seen
destruction on this scale before!

"I know you're worried abojt Dr. Light, but your first duty is to free the
city from the grip of Protoman's robots. I can modify your reactor to giue
the mega Buster a little more power, but the rest is up to you. Dr. Light
and I haue been worhing on a special project, but it's not finished yet.

The most talented robot designers from across the globe haue come
to the First Annual Robot Tournament sponsored by the billionaire, mr. K.
Traoeling from Japan, Canada and the United States, the designers haue
brought their finest cybernetic creations to do battle in a series of tests
to see which robot can claim the title of "The most Powerful Robot
in the Ulortd."

nothing seems strange as the contest begins, but when the top eight robots
enter the arena for the final euent, the lights dim and the mysterious
mr. H appears....

"ladles and Gentlemen...l wish to tbank you all for coming to see the final
euent of my First finnual Robot Tournament, fis you know, I haoe kept
the final euent of the tournament a secret. This euent wilt test the
strength, skill and intelligence of each of these fine robots. In fact, it will
also test the strength and skill of each one of you. That may seem strange,
but I'm sure you will understand when t explain that the final test
for these robots is to help me conguer the world!

"Please excuse me and my robots as we teleport out of here, but we haue
a lot of work to do. But don't worry, you'll see me again soon....

fflECn man 7: Dr. Ulilif
Behind Bar/!

The world's pulse raced with excitement!

Eueryone truly belieued the conniuing Dr. lUily

had been stopped for good and imprisoned by

the oallant mega man. Reporters jockeyed with

cameramen for snapshots as the infamous Doctor hung

his bead while being dragged away in handcuffs. Dr. Wily would soon be

behind bars. Or would he?

Dr. Ulily was ready for anything. He had known bis dastardly plans would
end in failure some day, so after sIk months without contact his laboratory
sprang to life, monitors whirred into action, lights flashed and the lab
control panel booted up. In no time four hidden robots emerged. The robots
then began a rampage in search of their master. Ulily had done it again,
nothing would get in their way!

The world's racing pulse turned to neruous fear as a city was pummeled,
Ulasn't Dr. Ulily in jail? Ulhy was this still happening? The four robots took
no beed of the great robot creator Or. Light, mega man found Dr. Light
and the canine cyborg Rush fallen in the streets.

"Dr. Light? Hre you O.K.?" IRega man shouted.

"mega man! Ule haue no time," replied Dr. Light. "Dr. Ulily is using his
robots to couer up his escape. Vou must go! Follow bis spaceship!"

mega man. Dr. Light and Rush looked on in horror as Dr. Ul fly's spaceship
shot out of the prison. Dr. lUily was on the loose!

niGGn nrnn b: iiieciQ (non

mega man, the second robot created by Dr. Thomas Light, was originally
intended only to perform functions in the laboratory that Dr. Light could
not perform himself. Slowly, Dr. Light began using mega man for more
and more aduanced robotics experiments.

One day, mega man walked in on Dr. Light Hstening to an intercepted
transmission from the euil Dr. Ulily. The transmission exposed Dr. Ulily's
plans for world domination, mega man convinced the good Dr. Light to let
him chase down and eliminate the threat of his nemesis.

mega man's dags as a "gofer" in the lab were ouer!
